Staying put? Gooden signs five-year, $32 million deal with Milwaukee

HoopsVibe’s Very Quick Call: Strike while the free agent iron is hot, folks.

Drew Gooden – a well-traveled post who has played for eight teams in eight years – signed with the Milwaukee Bucks on the first day of free agency for slightly above the mid-level exception because he wants a home.

Milwaukee adds depth up front next to budding center Andrew Bogut, and young point guard Brandon Jennings.

So Gooden, hopefully, gets his security, while the developing Bucks get a blending scorer and rebounder.
